A monthly gathering designed to create space for real conversations, meaningful connections, and shared wisdom — each featuring inspiring women who are shaping the wellness landscape.
Join Sue as she sits down with these women as they share their story. They will talk about what it is they practice, why they do what they do, and how that can bring more wellness to YOUR life.
Each month will feature a curated menu of small bites from HER Kitchen, thoughtfully designed to complement the evening’s theme. We highlight ingredients with wellness benefits in mind to truly nourish you from the inside out.
Inhale Peace, Exhale Joy: Somatic Breathing for the Season with Jessica of Beyond Birth and Beyond Wanderlust
This month, Jessica will introduce the practice of somatic breathwork, a powerful tool for regulating the nervous system, releasing stored stress, and reconnecting with the body’s innate intelligence.
Modern life often keeps us in a constant state of stress and disconnection. Breathwork offers a simple yet profound pathway back to balance, presence, and vitality.
During this talk, Jessica will explore:
• What somatic breathwork is and how the breath impacts the nervous system
• Why the body holds stress and how emotional patterns live in the body
• How breathwork can help regulate the nervous system and shift us out of fight-or-flight
• Simple breathing techniques that can be used in everyday life
• How breath can support healing, clarity, and deeper connection
Guests will also experience a short guided breath practice, offering a moment to slow down, reconnect, and experience the power of their own breath.
This evening is an invitation to remember that one of our most powerful healing tools is already within us, our breath.
WHEN: November 18th, 2026
WHERE: HER Kitchen - 1442 Hertel Ave, Buffalo, NY 14216
COST: $10 per person - includes small bites and samples
